Two of Them Turned Out by the
Homeopathic College Last Night.

VO On Hhem urued Out by the
Homeopathic College Last Night.
The Central Baptist church was filed with
the friends and patrons of the Homeopathic
Medical college last evening to listen to the
first commencement exercises of the school.
After fervent prayer by Rev. F. F. Gates,
DR.. A. c. Higbee read his report as registrar
OF the college. The report was an interesting
history OF the school. The first lecture was
delivered on the 4th of last October and the
hrst year closed with twenty students on the
roll-a result highly satisfactory to the
faculty. The Minnesota college continued
and earnest study was urgently recommended
to them, and the duties OF manhood, no less
than the duties of the profession, were shown
to be necessary requisites of success.
w. D. Wasburn, president of the board of
trustees, being absent, the vice president,
DR.. Hutch, presented the diplomas The
graduates were two, G. E. Hovland. of Still
water, and D. T. Knodof, of this city. TIE
valedictOry is one of three homeopathic
schools in the United States wherein the re-
quirements are such as to make it possible
for the graduates to appear before the Medi-
cal board OF this state for examination. 1t
demands of its graduates attendance upon
three courses of lectures of six months each.
The standard of the school is high, and none
but thoroughly prepared students can hope
to pass the severe examinations.
DIR. T. ii. Hatch, the dean of the faculty,
then delivered the address to the class The
new doctors were advised of the dignity and
responsibility of their work. Address was
read by Rev. DR.. Chase. He thought profess
sional schools should demand of their ma
trlculates collegiate education or its equiv
alent. AT present the only professional
schools that require a liberal education of
students beginning their course are the theo-
logical Summaries. The medical and law
schools accept candidates who have but COM
paratively little of the higher education. To
remedy this evil professional men should
devote portion of every week to the ac-
quirement Of general knowledge ard thus
bring his liberal education up to the standard
of his professional learning. The state would
be doing good thing in providing an eudow-
ment for this school. In closing he advised
the graduates to put faith in their profession
and in hard work and Gods blessing would
come.
The musical features of the programme
were, without exception, excellent. The
sOlOists were Miss Clara Williams, Miss Lily
Hammond and w. b. Heath. A male quar-
tette gave double number very satisfac-
torily and the entire programme was full of
interest. After the exercises the faculty,
board OF trustees, students and few invited
guests repaired to the Hotel Ardmore, where
.sumptuous banquet was served. Following
the feast DR.. Kicker, the toast MASTER an
nounced the toasts, which were quite as much
enjoyed as the good things that proceeded
them. DIR. Hatch spoke of the Relation of
the College to the Profession; DR.. Bausmau,
